PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: The analysis population included subjects implanted with a Quartet LV quadripolar lead and with the MPP feature activated and who had a 6-month CRT response evaluation via echocardiography. Subjects who withdrew prior to the 6-month visit, did not complete the 6-month visit, or had relevant 6-month data missing were excluded from the analysis.

The number of CRT responders was evaluated at 6 months post-implant. A CRT responder patient was a patient with an improvement of \>15 % in LVESV, as measured by echocardiography.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The analysis population included subjects implanted with a Quartet LV quadripolar lead and with the MPP feature activated and who had a 6-month CRT response evaluation via echocardiography. Subjects who withdrew prior to the 6-month visit, did not complete the 6-month visit, or had relevant 6-month data missing were excluded from the analysis.

An echocardiogram was performed at baseline and at 6 months in subjects with MPP activated. The outcome evaluated the percentage of change in LVESV, left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as compared to baseline prior to implant. The values of change with positive numbers represent increases and negative numbers represent decreases.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

The outcome evaluated the number of CRT super-responders at 6 months in subjects with MPP activated. A super-responder is defined as a subject with a mean absolute LVEF increase of \>14% at 6 months post-implant compared to baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

The outcome measures rates of all-cause mortality, all-cause hospitalization, cardiovascular hospitalization, and heart failure hospitalization. In addition, the outcome measures the combined endpoint of mortality and heart failure hospitalization and mortality and cardiovascular hospitalization. For the combined endpoints, if a participant experienced both endpoints, they were counted as one participant.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Subjects implanted with a CRT-D device and a Quartet quadripolar LV lead, programmed with the MPP feature activated and who had a NYHA classification evaluation at baseline and 6 months.

The outcome measures status changes in NYHA classification at 6 months for subjects with MPP activated. Subjects experienced either an improvement, worsening, or no change in NYHA classification. The NYHA provides a simple way of classifying the extent of heart failure: NYHA I: No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea. NYHA II: Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea. NYHA III: Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. NYHA IV: Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure at rest.
